Patrick Mahomes just so happened to be Dylan Cantrell's quarterback at Whitehouse (Texas) High School last season. Now, he's arguably one of Texas high school football's most valuable players.

The Whitehouse quarterback has put up very impressive numbers on the way to a 5-0 start with a supporting cast that is ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press' 4A top 10.

"We've always had a great offense, but this year we're bringing a D to the table," Mahomes said. "That's been the X-factor and the changing factor of our team this year. We're scoring a lot of points and holding teams to not too many points. That's the sign of a team that can make a long run into the playoffs."
